75 MPH Westlake ST tires?

Look at the picture below. That's a ST225/75R15D tire with a load index on its sidewall. The tire is from Westlake. Load index ratings are not official load indicators for LT or ST tires but can be put on the sidewall at the manufacturer's discursion. The lettering system used to determine load range for ST and LT tires is currently the only method approved for those tires.

L@@K Here!


Another thing that is very present with that load index is the L following the dual load index. That L is a speed symbol used in conjunction with the load index system and constitutes a complete service description. The L is for 75 MPH. I wonder if Westlake really approves their radial ST tires for 75 MPH?
